This week's show is all about the NBA Trade Deadline. We focus on: The Bucks trading for Nikola Mirotic The Raptors trading for Marc Gasol The Lakers being reasonable in their attempt for Anthony Davis (but wrong for letting Zubac go) How the Mavericks, Clippers, and Knicks are all doing the same strategy (clearing space for a blockbuster free agent) Of course, there aren't enough to go around. Tune in! |

We talk: The blockbuster trade between Dallas and New York that traded Kristaps Porzingis and DeAndre Jordan. A little more Anthony Davis gossip, we're kind of in limbo until things settle. |

We talk: Small Topics
Big Topic #1: Why the Naismith Hall of Fame is a sham, especially compared to Cooperstown. Big Topic #2: Anthony Davis trade rumors. We go meta on this one talking about the news cycle. This is right before we engage in the same rumor mill discussion :) |

We spend the first 20-25 minutes of the show talking the NFL playoffs and wrestling. This happens right after I say we're a Rockets podcast. We talk the Houston Rockets. We like them trading Melo and signing Faried. That said, this team is still playing from behind. We talk Scottie Pippen and his talk about how he'd guard James Harden. We use this as an excuse to talk a geeky tangent about time travel and greatest of all teams. |
Tue, 15 January 2019
We talk: DeAndre Jordan's free throw shooting. Are the Warriors better than the Nuggets out west? Houston's woes now that Clint Capela is out for two months and Eric Gordon is on his way back. Do Kawhi Leonard and Donovan Mitchell deserve player of the week? Should the Bulls buyout Robin Lopez? We talk a horrible study that has inexplicably become a common "advanced analytics" staple. As Brian succinctly puts it, it's essentially a "fruit of a poison tree" scenario. We talk issues with in-season Wins Produced and how we'll be examining things to make sure everything is running alright. Finally, we talk Trump serving Clemson fast food. |
Tue, 8 January 2019
We talk how the NBA is normalizing using SRS. We talk a lot of Houston, including Austin Rivers, Michael Carter-Williams, and James Harden. We also talk about Chandler Parson and Jimmy Butler and why, no matter how frustrating they are, we don't side against the players. We have a bunch of other tangents too as this week is a tune up show after two weeks off. Tune in! |
Tue, 18 December 2018
We talk: Steven Adams and Stephen A. Smith have problems with players names too! Jabari Parker is benched! Did the Bulls have a plan? On that note: The Phoenix Suns had a plan with Ariza. Use him as a trade asset ... so close! We talk James Dolan's motivation for saying he'd sell the Knicks. We talk a fair bit about legalized sports wagering and the NBA, as well as their "integrity fee" proposal. |
Tue, 11 December 2018
We talk: Why Gregg Popovich's hatred of threes is nothing new. But it might lead to some new old analytical analysis. Why the Bulls are still horribly run. Why the Nuggets health woes suck, and Nick Young is not the answer. Why the Bucks made a trade that does nothing, but we still like. Tune in! |
